Understand the role of providing appropriate assessment and basic exercise movement to help facilitate behavior change.

Brief Overview:

The obesity and physical activity epidemics and their associated chronic diseases are helping to change the landscape of healthcare. Healthcare and allied health professionals are adopting a more holistic approach to caring for their patients. People need more than advice to overcome unhealthy behaviors—they need hands-on help. They need someone who can translate healthcare-provider recommendations into action and results. They need someone who can help empower patients to change the lifestyle behaviors that have prevented them from losing weight, eating healthier, and incorporating physical activity into their lives. This session will address the key of fundamentals coaching individuals through the process of health behavior change.
